We were going back to the hotel after containing the fire at the dockyard. "Was anyone injured? Any casualties?" I asked Ben as he was looking out for people who were injured or if anyone was missing. "No, that's what surprises me. As it is no one except us go there for shipments handling and the only ones there were the guards. We didn't even have any shipments at the dock, all of them were shifted to the warehouse because of the previous attack at the other dock and most people in our circle know this. So if anyone wanted us to have losses their target would've been those warehouses, not this dockyard."
"Maybe they didn't know about that-"
I stop abruptly seeing Mark's car parked at the side of the road. "Stop the car. Now!" Ben stopped the car and I went back, towards the car to see only Mark inside, on the driver seat with a bandage on his head. No one else was in there with him. Venere? Where is she!
I tried opening the car but the car was locked. I knocked on the window but it was no use. He isn't waking up. Cazzo! After checking my pockets for the car's spare keys that Mark had given and not finding them, I go back to Ben's car and start searching for it. "Jasper, what's wrong?" I heard Ben asking and I answered without looking at him.
"Guarda bene at that damn license plate!" He was silent for a few seconds looking at the license plate carefully before muttering a 'Oh fuck' and runs to Mark's car after picking up a medium sized rock. Understanding what he's about to do, I stop the search for the spare key and get the first aid kit in case he needs it. He goes to the passenger door, hurls the rock at the window then unlocks the door to have a look at Mark. His hands and legs had no injuries but I rechecked to make sure of it. The only other wound that he seems to have is the one at the back of his, which is already bandaged.
"He's mostly unharmed, just a hit on his head. Let's get him to the hotel and let Riley have a look at him." Nodding, I motion him to unlock the driver's door. "Get his car window repaired. I will take him back to albergo." Unlocking the seat belt and slinging his one arm around my shoulder, I take Mark to Ben's car. Ben opens the door to his car's backseat and lets Mark lie on the seat. "What- why can't I go back to the hotel with him?"
I slap his chest playfully with the back of my hand and reply, "Because you broke the window to his only car."
"This was an emergency!"
"Ben, stop bickering with me and do whatever you want! Just let me get him back to the albergo!" I yelled, losing my patience. Already Venere is missing, I have to go find her after dropping him to the hotel and here he is wasting my time.
"Okay, okay I'm taking the car to the repair shop. But what about Mac? Where is she? She was supposed to be with him." I swallow some water from my bottle and reply back. "I'm worried about her too. But right now we have to make sure Mark is okay. I will call her as we go to the hotel. And after dropping him there, I will go out to find her."
